  4. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook baby potatoes until fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet and roast for an additional 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Mix together feta cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, Greek yogurt, and chopped parsley until creamy for the Lemon Feta Dip.
